The Correct Option is B

Solution and Explanation

German silver is a copper-based alloy composed of copper (about 50-60 percent), zinc (about 20-30 percent) and nickel (about 10-20 percent). It contains no silver and no germanium, despite its name.
So Ag and Ge are absent; the correct set is Cu, Zn and Ni, which is option (2).
